There is a Chinese proverb that says, ”If you get up one more time than you fall you will make it through.” Sometimes, especially when life becomes full of “obstacles,” self-doubt can creep in and make us feel like “writing ourselves off.” But like Jimmy Eat World say in their song, “The Middle:” “Just try your best, do everything you can. And don’t you worry what the bitter hearts are gonna say.”

If you let it, the most bitter of the hearts can be your own. Don’t psyche yourself out if you feel let down or if you feel like something is impossible. As long as you can get up again, if you can keep going, and realize that you are on the right path as long as you are trying, you will finally receive all the things you want from the universe–in time.
